I doubt (even with binoculars) they could play spot-the-clue; they probably just go up and grab an info card.An unofficial site here with lots of photos, video links, etc. Comparing the site's map with this photo, I'm guessing the horse is between The Address and the Dubai Mall (if the horse even figures in this episode).

I think we will see the horse...

here's what we saw: it was roughly 10:30 p.m. dubai time on sunday, july 26. we were coming out of urbano, a restaurant in souk al bahar. they were not in the restaurant; they were looking for a checkpoint outside. (it turned out to be near the dubai mall taxi stand, by a giant statue of a black horse.)

The source confirmed this as being the correct horse

and wp noted it was in front of Burj Dubai. And there is a signup sheet.

Since it is right in front of the Burj, I thought perhaps it had something to do with that. It is/was under construction still, perhaps they have to take the construction guys elevator up?? That alone could be pretty scary.

Extreme Heights or Extreme Speed?

But what about the Snow task?

I was basing that on the idea that the race/Burj Dubai tasks are the Detours. Nothing has been official yet, unless I missed something.

EW:• In Dubai, competitors will be presented with a chilling Detour: They have to take snow from an indoor ski area and build a snowman outside in the scorching Middle East heat. “The quality of the snow changes instantly the moment you bring it out,” chuckles van Munster. “And the snowman can’t be a little one—it has to be five-, six-foot-high snowman with eyes and a real carrot in his nose

Yep, I agree; since both are suited up for the Autodrome, that must be the second half. If the lady saw the teams by the horse at 10:30 p.m., then they get lift tickets, go up the Burj the next morning, and pull a card telling them to grab cars out of the parking lot and drive to the dunes? Just guessing.
